Great pub split between two bars. The front bar has what seems to be a post-war decor and the back pure Victorian. They have a regular rotation of events and activities for example on the Thursday night we went there was a sea chanty session! I saw advertised that they also do a vinyl night, where you can bring your own records and sign up for a DJ slot. A wide range of beers and cosy seated area. What''s not to like?

I had heard of this pub before but I thought it was a 'spoons! Its very definitely not a 'spoons, it doesn't have rakes of old men, cheap food or poor and slow service.... in fact it’s the absolute opposite.

10 hand pumps which are made up of 4 regular cask ales and 6 guests with the guests changing regularly. The wife and I spent a few hours here several Saturday’s ago and I can report that Bingham's Vanilla Stout @ 5.0% was on great form.

Packed when we got here just after 5pm and then got even busier when the band came on from 6pm playing a mix of Blues and Country they were very good and well received by the up for it local crowd.

There’s a quieter bar on the opposite side of the front bar where it seemed that conversation was king, the pub also has rooms above and a bar billiard table.

Out of the 6 pubs we visited in one day and evening in Hastings this was my favourite. Really quick and good service, great choice of ales, live music and a friendly bunch of locals. Score’s highly from me.
